She beat Social Security privatization in 2005 by refusing to concede anything to Bush. She used the John Murtha resolution to turn the Democrats into a wholeheartedly anti-Iraq-War party in 2006, over the objections of Rahm Emanuel and Steny Hoyer . This year she's gotten...

DOWNLOADS: (345) PLAYS: (906) This is sickening. Rep. John Shadegg uses baby Maddie, a 7-month-old daughter of his Chief of Staff to the floor as a prop during the health-care debate in the House earlier today. The Political Carnival writes: I wanted to "spit up", and wished Maddy had. Yes, John Shadegg actually used an innocent infant as a prop, spoke baby talk, and provided us with nothing...

I’m not following the floor action on the House health care rationing bill - I figure it’ll eventually pass the House somehow, and I am still fighting a cold - so I didn’t see this. Which is a shame, because it must have been hysterical : Fun stuff…Hoyer led the House in cheering for John [Dingell]. Nice touch and all but then a Republican got up and asked unanimous consent...

Supporters of a single-payer health care system, you will not get your promised debate and vote on the House floor. Being the pragmatist, Rep. Anthony Weiner backed off his demand for a vote on a single-payer health care system today. Weiner galvanized progressives in the summer when he won a promise from Speaker Nancy Pelosi to hold a vote on single-payer on the House floor in return for withdrawing...

Redistributing whose wealth? BY: Burt Prelutsky For some peculiar reason, America's left-wingers object to being called socialists. In fact, we have only one member of Congress, Vermont's Bernie Sanders, who has the gumption to admit he is one. Still, so far as I can tell, he's no more socialistic than any of the other leftist pinheads in Washington. I mean, the truth is, Henry Waxman, Nancy Pelosi,...

Not only do we have to, but we’re going to,”
